It looks like Chris Brown will spend up to 3 months in a Malibu rehab facility for his anger problems.The singer was arrested 2 days ago for allegedly punching a man in the face.

TMZ reports that the move could be a way to avoid jail time:

And, as we previously reported, Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, knows it’s very likely the judge in the Rihanna case will revoke Brown’s probation, which could put him behind prison bars for up to 4 years. The rehab move is an act of good faith, showing Brown is dealing with his problems.

According to TMZ, Chris Brown will spend the night in jail after being arrested in Washington D.C. this morning for felony assault. Brown allegedly attacked a man outside the W hotel. The singer allegedly punched him in the face. His bodyguard was also arrested.

Update:

Sources connected with Chris Brown tell TMZ … the alleged victim is full of BS — he was not trying to have a picture taken with Chris … he was trying to get on Chris’ tour bus, and Brown was simply trying to stop a trespass. The sources say 2 girls tried to get on the bus to have their picture taken with Chris but they were blocked, and that’s when the two men — including the alleged victim — tried getting on.

TMZ just spoke with the victim. He tells us Chris broke his nose and he may need surgery as early as tomorrow morning. The victim confirmed he and a friend photo bombed the two women who were taking a picture with Brown when Chris went nuts. The victim says he’s not a Chris Brown fan … and was just hanging with a couple girls at the hotel when he saw the singer outside. The victim says he doesn’t understand why Brown would be “so homophobic” to hurl such a slur. And get this … the victim says he would have accepted an apology at the scene, but now he will absolutely press charges — and he already has a lawyer.

Looks like Chris Brown and Drake have buried the hatchet as they can be seen working together in the studio in the video above. (hit the 45 seconds mark). ChrisBrowns’ forthcoming album, X, drops on November 19th.
